This post is written for Friday Fictioneers.
They had made the reservations months in advance. They had visions of what they would see. The Oval Office, the East Room, a walk around the Rose Garden, these would be the things that they would tell their children and grandchildren. In their wildest dream even the President stopped by and said hello.
“You have arrived at your destination,” the GPS on their rental car announced.
“Carole, this can’t be right,” Ted said.
“I put the White House in the search bar.”
Ted, looking out his car widow saw the sign: “White House Pub and Grill.”
Oh Danny Boy! 
A perfect example of needing to take a second look at the directions before leaving. Hopefully not all is lost and they get a good lunch out of it!

Working on a paper for my master’s degree, I typed “White House” into the search bar and got a porn site. I was so shocked for a moment that I couldn’t even think to delete it 🙂
Great story, Danny. I’m glad their White House was just a pub!

Understand. I was putting together an employee handbook on sexual harassment. You can image the results I got.:-)

Brilliant twist at the end. White House Pub and Grill seems like a place I might frequent. Terrible ambiance, but great food!

Oh, what a disappointment for them. And what a good chuckle for us. I love it. And I seldom use Satnav. I can send you all the wrong way by misreading a map just as well as the tech can. 😀

I could only chuckle. The reliance on tech does have its drawback. We had a incident where a eight wheeled truck went the wrong way down a narrow one way street and blocked the road. The driver blamed Sat Nav.

Oops. No worries, I bet the one they are looking for is just a couple of blocks over.

I would prefer this place to the D.C. one just for the ambiance and parking. 🙂

This is a delightfully different take on the prompt. Well done.

Maybe all is not lost – do they do a good pub lunch and a pint?!
